Notes
- I used spring onions as they are not as pungent, but regular or red onions can be used too, if you don't mind a sharper touch.
- Other veggies that would work well here are sweetcorn, radishes, avocadoes, olives, green beans and peas, or green salad chopped well.
- Feta cheese would be another great addition.
